Blade Runner reviews

My Responses Blade Runner 2049 - a gigantic spectacle of pure hallucinatory craziness: I agree with some of the content in this article even though I didn't quite engage with the narrative. I found the film quite confusing probably because I haven't seen the first film, however the film was visually appealing. The editing and cinematography made the film entertaining and also I loved the though process behind some of the shots.

Deutschland 83 Close-textual analysis

Scene 1: Garden/BBQ scenes (East & West Germany) 4.58 – 8.20 and 34.00 – 37.20 East Germany There is a sense of happiness while music plays in the background. Family values are reinforced in this scene because Martin Rauch gets his mother a gift as well as the aunt does too. A quite friendly and homely environment is created because there is a lot of family an friends at the barbecue. The people are drinking alcohol from bottles and singing along to folk and pop music. There is a sense of community and togetherness. East reinforces stereotypes that men are the ones to go into the army because it is male dominated and men are more strong and aggressive. People are seen to be smoking including women as well. East Germany was seen as a 'joke' and outdated because of the clothing and traditional furniture and housing. East Germany did not reflect wealth, everyone seemed the same. Western consumer goods were not available in East and the Western culture was more attrac...
